Witchcraft 666: The Devil’s Mistress 1994

Renquist lures virgins to his house

Killer Jonathan Renquist lures virgins back to his house and, with the help of his girlfriend Cat, drugs them for an unknown purpose. The early abductions establish the killer's method and the victims' vulnerability, setting the ominous tone for the case.

LAPD enlists Spanner to investigate

Two LAPD detectives recruit warlock/attorney William Spanner to help stop the serial killer who uses black magic. Spanner is skeptical about supernatural angles but agrees to consult, recognizing the case will be unlike ordinary police work.

Savatini identified from lineup

Spanner reviews a suspect lineup and identifies Savatini as the most likely killer, though the evidence is thin. He notes that the lineup offers little to hold him on, creating tension between belief and proof.

Spanner steps in after detectives are removed

Despite initial reluctance, Spanner takes a more active role when Lutz and Garner are removed from the case. He resolves to pursue Savatini and thwart the occult-enabled killings on his own terms.

Diana targeted as the virgin for the ritual

Renquist identifies Spanner's secretary, Diana, as the virgin that Savatini will use for his ritual, confirming that Spanner himself has become a threat to their plan. The stakes rise as the killer circles closer to Spanner's inner circle.

Cat surfaces as Spanner's client yet agent of the plan

Spanner's new client is Cat, Renquist's girlfriend. She secretly participates in the drugging scheme and later spikes Spanner's drink. Her double role ties the professional case to the criminal conspiracy and complicates trust.

Savatini revealed as Satan's agent and the eclipse ritual

Savatini is revealed as Satan's agent who must perform a ritual sacrifice during a solar eclipse to bring Satan to Earth. The occult element intensifies the case beyond the usual police work and raises the sense of impending doom.

Spanner's divorce case intersects the case

Spanner's professional life intersects with a divorce case involving his client, Mr. Savatini's husband, creating conflicts of interest and layering personal stakes into the investigation. The court drama runs alongside the hunt for the killer, tying personal and supernatural threads together.

Cat spikes Spanner's drink

Unknown to Spanner at first, Cat spikes his drink, revealing her duplicitous role and further complicating the investigation's progress. The betrayal forces Spanner to question those closest to him.

Detectives removed; Spanner takes the lead

LAPD Detectives Lutz and Garner are removed from the case, pushing Spanner to take the lead and increasing the risk of the investigation losing momentum. This shift marks a turning point toward a more solo, high-stakes pursuit.

Eclipse nears; plan accelerates

As the solar eclipse approaches, Savatini accelerates ritual preparations and Renquist intensifies his search for victims. Spanner and his allies scramble to uncover the ritual's parameters and intervene in time.
